The Hexton Chronicles: The Trouble with Magic is an exciting and atmospheric fantasy novel that invites you into a magical world filled with secrets, danger, and intrigue. Amy Wilson is a master storyteller whose narrative is engaging, featuring intriguing characters and a great sense of darkness that is sure to keep you reading from page to page. Fray's quest of finding his place in the world and discovering himself is not only exciting but emotional as well.

Firstly, a huge thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for this early read.
The Hexton Chronicles: The Trouble with Magic is more than a book about Magic; it is a book about finding your place in a world where, despite similarities, you are regarded as different.
Fray has lived away from Hexton, the town of his birth, since the catastrophic incident that broke people's links to magic and has tried to hide within shadows. He's tried and failed to be accepted, but now with Old Skeg gone, he's returning in the hope of finding what it means to belong.
This is a hugely entertaining and engaging read, not only because of the wonder of magic and the storytelling within, but also because it can be used as a conduit to invite discussion around considering how those who have been forced from their homes want to have a sense of belonging. In my humble opinion, this is more than just a wonderful read, it is a story that develops empathy, a story about family, about friendship and about acceptance. It is a much needed read.
